clearly a symptom of President Trump's strength and popularity. / sarc
Your statement warrants no sarcasm, as it is quite simply true on its face. These folks are being forced to reveal their unholy alliance because Trump has them....the deep state AND the far Left...on their heels politically. The "institutions" they have spent decades warping into implements of anti-democratic rule...creating a sort of Oligarchic control intended to "guide" and "restrain" what they see as the erratic Petit Bourgeois tendencies of democracy...are coming unraveled.
The NT Republicans and the Leftists differ ideologically in some ways, but they agree that the nation should be governed by an educational elite who "know better" than the rest of the nation...they inherently do not believe in the wisdom of the Plebs. In fact, the mere prospect terrifies them. In their view, the simplistic Plebs should stand back as the Leftist elites do intellectual battle with the Rightist elites...and then simply accept the outcome of the struggle between their "betters".
So, they are rallying to one another to bring the still formidable resources of the tottering deep state...and they will use their primary weapons (a wildly liberal media establishment, their moles and allies in the letter agencies of government, and the vast funding that has always moved their agenda forward...from a range of Socialist elites across the globe) to retake the reins of government.
All my life I've scoffed at conspiracy theories...and rightly so for the most part. But one conspiracy holds true...and quite frankly has sought to influence and control modern democracy since it arose in England...and that is this coalition of intellectual elites and wealthy "nobility" seeking to mitigate and control the political power of the middle and lower classes (Honestly, you can see the same struggle going on in the Roman Republic as the Plebs and Patricians dueled for power...but I digress). These folks simply have been and still are brazenly pulling the strings in our intelligence agencies (at the highest levels, not the rank and file), in our media, in our universities, etcetera...and they are formidable. And NOW they are more dangerous than they've ever been....because they are genuinely afraid.
An outsider has somehow forced his way on to the throne and has enough support from the Plebs to actually govern in their interests...and our modern form of upper nobility, the Deep State if you will, is both furious and afraid. And they will do anything and everything to stop this man...they would wage nuclear war and burn this whole structure to the ground before the cede any of their hard earned "elite" place in society and governance to the riff-raff (us).
